Re: Hey! I'm Still Holding On! Perhaps it means that if you were to break from the Grab on your next phase then you would be prone instead of standing? Hmm...

Re: Dark Champions review posted In the future would it be at all possible to have you email me the links to your reviews? That makes it easier for me to update the Reviews page on the site since I don't always catch the announcements in the boards.

Re: Games gone awry This thread was reported to me. Should I close it? What do the parties involved think?

All the characters, skills and equipment for Dark Champions is now available in Hero Designer format in the Online Store for only $7.99! Enjoy!

Both books are now available for $26.99 in the Online Store. As usual, damaged copies are also available for $5 less. And for those who are bound to ask, here's the skinny on damaged books from the Online Store FAQ: Q. Some of the books in the Online Store say that they are "damaged". What exactly does that mean? A. The books have bent corners, scuffed spines and other such cosmetic abberations that caused the distributors to send them back to us. All of the pages are in the books and they are all legible. Perfectly usable books.

Re: Pro Packages in SH Books Most of the packages of the same name are identical, but there are some that are different. For example, a Smuggler Package in TE is valued at 12 points whereas in AW it's 15 due to some different skills and the like.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER *kick

Re: Have you ever noticed? Power corrupts. So perhaps they become evil because they become more powerful, not the other way around.

Re: New to Hero, so how would I... Some answers for you... "45-point reserve?" -- All powers in the Multipower can have a maximum of 45 Active Points. It also means that you can have no more than 45 Active Points worth of powers being used at the same time. "all slots OAF?" -- All powers (slots) in the Multipower have the Obvious Accessible Focus Limitation. The yo-yo is the focus and it grants you all of these powers "Reduced Endurance?" (and why are some 0 end and others 1/2 end?) -- Some are 0 and some are 1/2 END because they seem to make sense that way. Some powers would require more energy expendeture than others simply by the nature of the ability. "Active Points?" -- Active Points is the cost of a Power plus its Advantages. Active Cost is a way of measuring the "maximum power" of a Power. (-1, +1/2 and other fractional numbers) -- Positive values denote Advantages. Negative numbers denote Limitations. What's 1u? -- The slot costs 1 Character Point. The u stands for Ultra Slot. See Multipower in Sidekick for the 2 different types of slots. "NND?" -- No Normal Defense. This power can only be defended by the specified defense. Otherwise, the target takes all of the damage. "rPD on vitals?" -- rPD is Resistant Physical Defense. In this case, there needs to be Armor or Force Field or some other form of Resistant Defense on that location. "Recoverable charge?" -- Like an arrow as opposed to a bullet. You can pick up an arrow and use it again. You can't with a bullet. I'm also a bit fuzzy on something here - now, if i'm understanding Active Points correctly, that means that the total number of Active Points powers I can have going at one time can't exceed 45, right? -- Correct. Again, a read through of Multipower in Sidekick will give you a full grasp of how it works. So, wouldn't this preclude the 2" stretching while doing a Thwack? (15+44?) --That means you cannot use both powers at the same time. Thwack is an Energy Blast which is a Ranged attack so you can use it on a distant target. -- Hope this helps.

Re: The cranky thread I dunno... It would be kinda fun to hock a big loogie all over the D20 people. (this was a joke folx) Man how cool would it be to win that?

Re: Hero Needs Reviewers!!

Re: Assisting another's skill checks FREd p.27 talks about Complementary Skills for one person using 2 different skills to solve a problem and for two people using the same (or different) skills to accomplish the task. EDIT: Aha beaten to it. The part about two characters working together is easy to miss because the sentence starts on p27 and wraps to p28.

Re: The cranky thread Okay, I've had this freaking cold for over 2 weeks now and I'm starting to get pissed off. It started in my chest which caused so much coughing that it strained a muscle in my lower back. Then it moved up to my sinuses as the cough faded. Soon after it moved up to my ears and they are now totally clogged... oh, and it moved back down into my chest again too. Yay. Yay, I say. Did I mention I was sick my entire vacation? If my ears aren't better by next week I'm gonna be in a world of hurt when we fly out to Indy for Gencon. This is boolsheet!!!

Re: What kind of Star Hero 'teams' are you gaming?

Re: Sidekick character sheet .pdf Everything is waded through. I'm checking with Steve about this now. I'll let you all know what he says. Until then, everyone close your eyes, take a deep breath and think happy thoughts.

Re: Fifth ed revised name?

Re: Dark Champs Banner He's referring to the front page banner which includes Nate's logo and Storn's artwork. I designed the banner.
